I am fairly new at trying to get data from CRM using C#, I am trying to get the display names of all of my attribute on CRM, When I try, I am getting a result of Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Label
and it doesn't seem to straight forward to get the value of that label, could someone point me in the right direction?
using System;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Messages;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata;
namespace CRM_MetaData_Download
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try {
var connectionString = @"AuthType = Office365; Url = https://CRMINFORMATION";
CrmServiceClient conn = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);
IOrganizationService service;
service = (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationWebProxyClient != null ? (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationWebProxyClient : (IOrganizationService)conn.OrganizationServiceProxy;
RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest
{
EntityFilters = EntityFilters.All,
LogicalName = "account"
};
RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveAccountEntityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)service.Execute(retrieveEntityRequest);
EntityMetadata AccountEntity = retrieveAccountEntityResponse.EntityMetadata;
Console.WriteLine("Account entity attributes:");
foreach (object attribute in AccountEntity.Attributes)
{
AttributeMetadata a = (AttributeMetadata)attribute;
Console.WriteLine(a.LogicalName + " " +
a.Description + " " +
a.DisplayName + " " +
a.EntityLogicalName + " " +
a.SchemaName + " " +
a.AttributeType + " "
);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
}
}
Since Dynamics CRM supports multi-lingual capabilities, the display name label will be stored for each language. You can get it like below:
